Improving Treatment Outcomes Includes Increasing the Diversity of the Psychiatric Workforce

Written by Communications and Marketing

|

As practitioners, we are well aware of the need for new and better treatments for our patients, but we must not overlook others in the population who would benefit from existing treatments and yet, for various reasons, are neglected. New treatment development must be based on the understanding of underlying pathophysiology, which directly depends on new empirical insights into genetic, molecular, cellular, and neurocircuit alterations as they relate to individuals’ symptoms and phenotypic presentations. Ultimately, rigorous clinical trials must be performed in diverse populations to translate more basic discoveries to patients and to determine the efficacy and potential risks of new treatments.
